In a brand new weblog submit from EA, which takes quotes from among the key devs engaged on the remake from EA Motive, the writer affords some developer insights on the upcoming horror sport. There are fascinating particulars about Dead Space’s neighborhood council — a gaggle of hardcore followers who helped advise growth — and the brand new graphical results for shredding enemies. But essentially the most fascinating bit of knowledge issues the sport’s digital camera and its new content material.

In the unique Dead Space, the digital camera adopted fairly intently to Isaac Clark for your complete sport. But the USS Ishimura was segmented, and also you’d must hop a prepare — which got here with an extended load — to get from one aspect of the planet cracker to the opposite. In the remake, you’ll be capable to transport across the complete ship with out ever seeing a load display screen, and the digital camera won’t ever lower. It’s presently unclear if the trains will nonetheless be within the sport.

God of War pulled off this trick in 2018. And whereas it might sound like a little bit of a gimmick, it did assist pull gamers into the sport’s world and hold them there. In a sport like Dead Space, digital camera cuts and cargo occasions are nearly releasing experiences, as they mean you can breathe a bit.

This new flight system will present new “challenges” for gamers within the sequel, which seems like remixed encounters from the unique sport.

However, there might be some straight-up new aspect content material within the sport as effectively. Players will be capable to take Isaac on “narrative side quests” to study Nicole — Isaac’s girlfriend — and what she was as much as throughout the preliminary assault on the Ishimura. Characters like Dr. Cross may even get some display screen time within the sport, slightly than being banished to audio logs.

Players can take a look at the brand new model of the USS Ishimura — in addition to the sport’s new digital camera — when EA and Motive launch the Dead Space remake on Jan. 27, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.
